A PSNI spokesperson said: “On Sunday, they were contacted by security in a supermarket in Banbridge who reported deterring 3 males from the Republic of Ireland from committing a potentially large theft.
"90 minutes later, the same 3 males were reported trying to leave a supermarket in Lurgan without paying for a full trolley's worth of goods.
"The men were arrested and a search of their car found a large quantity of meat and other goods from a 3rd supermarket in the boot. The total value of the goods was £700.
"The men were overnight charged to court and have since been remanded in prison.”
